Answer:

x = 24.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sides of the triangle are the hypotenuse (x) and a side of length 20 that is adjacent to the 34° angle and opposite the 56° angle.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of relationships between the hypotenuse and adjacent or opposite sides:

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

If we want to use the "adjacent" side, we would choose ...

cos(34°) = 20/x

x = 20/cos(34°) ≈ 20/0.83 ≈ 24.10 . . . . . rounding according to instructions

If we want to use the "opposite" side, we would choose ...

sin(56°) = 20/x

x = 20/sin(56°) ≈ 20/0.83 ≈ 24.10 . . . . . rounding according to instructions

_____

Comment on rounding

If you round correctly (only at the last step), the proper answer is 24.12.

2(w-1)+8=6(2w-4) please help w=?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

W = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(W - 1) + 8 = 6(2w - 4)

2w - 2 + 8 = 12w - 24

2w + 6 = 12w - 24

6 = 10w - 24

30 = 10w

3 = W

Hope this helps. Pls give brainliest.

Verify the identity

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Given:

Given that we need to prove the identity $\sin x+\sin x \tan ^{2} x=\tan x \sec x$

Proof:

Step 1: Factor out the common term sin x, we get;

$\sin x\left(1+\tan ^{2} x\right)=tan \ x \ sec \ x$

Step 2: Using the identity $1+tan^2 x=sec^2x$

$\sin x \sec ^{2} x=tan \ x \ sec \ x$

Step 3: Reciprocating sec x, we get;

$\sin x \cdot \frac{1}{\cos ^{2} x}=tan \ x \ sec \ x$

Step 4: Splitting the denominator, we have;

$\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos x}=tan \ x \ sec \ x$

Simplifying, we get;

$\tan x \sec x=\tan x \sec x$

Thus, the identity is proved.

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence?

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

And arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between each of the numbers are constant.

It is not A, because the difference between 3 and 9 is positive 6, and the difference between 9 and 81 is positive 72.

It is not C, because the difference between 4 and 1 is -3, and the difference between 1 and 4 is positive 3.

It is not D, because the difference between 2 and -2 is -4, and the difference between -2 and 2 is positive 4.

And it is B because the numbers maintain a constant difference between each other, which is -3.
